I think you're just stuck on the English definition of love. God defines love far differently. It is unloving to let people die in their deception and a sin to offer hospitality to those who bring a false gospel. Believe the word of God and He will renew your thinking.

For in much wisdom is much grief, And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow. Ecclesiastes 1:18

Being born again means what the Bible says it means, basically being given new life and becoming a new creation, through the indwelling of His Spirit, the seal of adoption as a child of God. The Lord granted me (so far) the gifts of prophesy, spiritual discernment, helps, administrations...

Thanks brother. We've disagreed more than once, but not on the fundamentals (as far as my failing memory can recall.) Thanks for upholding the word of God.

Believe the Bible, trust the Lord's sacrifice on your behalf, and your eyes will certainly be fixed. Christ didn't come to condemn sinners, but to save them (and He does every day.) The long-suffering of our Lord is salvation. Who exactly do you think He's long-suffering toward? 20 For the...

You do know that JW missionaries are instructed not to tell their intended victims that they don't believe in Jesus's divinity or equality with God, right? One inexperienced convert sheepishly acknowledged that in my living room while I disproved their arguments verse by verse. The apostates...

Speak for yourself. The Lord has pronounced me cleansed by His blood and when I do sin, there is immediate forgiveness at the cross. Don't you know these things?

No, because I'm not aware that he did anything wrong. It isn't sin to disagree on doctrine. However, Paul pronounced curses upon those that preached another gospel. I've had friendly acquaintances among the JWs and the brother that prayed with me to receive His Spirit was actually raised as a...

So you're a judge then?

False humility is easy, but I will boast in my relationship with my Lord, my God, my Savior, my brother through adoption, and my friend, the LORD, Jesus Christ.

Pride is a sin common to all mankind. 17 But the one who boasts is to boast in the Lord. 18 For it is not the one who commends himself that is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. 2 Corinthians 10:17-18 These are verses I'm quite comfortable with.

That's the nature of contending for the truth. For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day. 2 Timothy 1:12

Election is a biblical concept and implies that we only have the "responsibility " to believe. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of...

Funny.

I don't see any name calling here at all. Just a carnal religious man arguing with a spiritual man who doesn't give a flip about religion. We've both been extremely civil despite not being in agreement about our God, the LORD, Jesus the Christ. You do know that there are 2 different types of...

Of course, but I'm the Lord's servant and He's given me spiritual gifts. What spiritual gift did He give you when you were born again?

They don't know who's saved. They have no assurance of salvation. They teach that only 144, 000 will be saved. No cult teaches an assurance of salvation and that maintains the power and authority of the leadership (excommunication leads to damnation in the cults.) This is also why evangelicals...

Your words suggest that you don't know God at all. If you did, you would love the gentile church. 9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. 10 He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 11 But he who hates...

You can disagree all you want, but that just makes you wrong and carnal minded. You don't understand God, the nature of spirit, or the word.

LORD is generally either adonai or Yod He Vaw He in the original language of scripture. Anyone could be an Adonai as a ruler, but there's only one Yod He Vaw He (Yah Havah) which Jesus identified with, the God of Israel. 57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have...
